Wall To Wall Prince

A unique celebration of the music of Prince. Drawing on his incredible catalogue of songs this show pays homage to perhaps the most influential artist of his generation.

Featuring David McAlmont and Imaani

With Musical Direction from Artist in Residence, Janette Mason, whose unique interpretations of Prince, Bowie and many more have been receiving rave reviews. For example…

"The flame-haired Janette Mason, musical director, took ownership of the set. In addition to being a rousing keyboardist, Mason boasts formidable skill as a composer, producer, and arranger– toying with the arrangements and sometimes entirely reinventing them. She has the uncanny knack of undoing a song by its seams and reconceptualising it with brazen originality.

Indeed, Mason was not afraid to take fan-favourites and render them almost unrecognisable. The song I was least looking forward to, the karaoke staple 'Kiss', was a standout performance thanks to Mason's slowed-down jazz arrangement, transporting the audience to the 1950s. Moreover, 'Little Red Corvette' became a country mid-tempo and 'Raspberry Beret' a celebratory reggae joint – renamed 'Guyana Beret'. 'When Doves Cry' was also given the bassline unusually absent from the original recording. As singer David McAlmont described, Mason doesn't arrange songs, she 'de-ranges' them."
